bye2 giraffe dress;'/

thank God the garage sale is pretty successful.;)

i was quite surprised with enthusiasm of the girls, they did shop a lot!

yes, one very big bag of fashion stuffs for each of those adorable lady! weew.

oh well, too bad i cudn't buy this cute giraffe dress cus a very nice boy bought this for his GF. au revoir ma robe. hehehe.

and now i'm craving for chinese chicken salad.
maybe tomorrow i'll make myself some:)
yummm yumm

dragon balls, jumbo dragon roll and day dreaming

ahaha, the film was surprisingly pretty good.
well, i thought the film wud be boring or a bit trashy, but it turned to be otherwise.
but i didn't like flow of the story, not smooth and anti climax at a third last part.

and oh, just a random thought..
when we're going to save ur work at MS Office, we hit the floppy disk icon at upper left corner of the LCD rite? but have u seen this stuff lately? hahaha, i must admit that i haven't seen that for years. i wonder if a century from now, young ppl wud ask a question like " what's actually the meaning of the save icon? is that a big building with door or...?"

so, they'll open wikipedia (or any other famous encyclopedia at the future) and maybe found this statement:

" save toolbar icon is a floppy disk, an ancient storing device that was popular hundred years ago. the capacity for its 1.44" size was less than 1 MB, very contrast if compared with nowadays storing device with no bigger size than a needle that cud store up to 1000 TB"

and i imagine that the advertising is no longer in 2D, but in 3D instead.
just like in star wars film! wowww.

owwwh, and the best part at that time is we don't buy hard copy fashion magazine anymore. instead, we buy latest issue's softcopy on web or nearest 'lapak majalah'.
download it to our own e-book and voilaaaa, we'll be able not just to read and see pics, but also to watch 3-D fashion show!!! x)
uber kewlllll hahahha

inventory management

this SUNday and MONday i'm gonna make this bazaar at BSD.
in preparation stage, i found out several interesting facts:

- girls can't control theirselves as soon as they hear SALE word!
the basic principle is: "great opportunities don't come twice"
- shopaholics don't wear things twice
... simply cus they got tons (literally) of stuffs to be worn
- let's do the math...
there are around 20-30 suppliers. in average, each got as 60 consignee stuffs; therefore, there will be 1200-1800 stuffs in my garage sale. and woowww, it's gonna be a hard inventory management. you know, to pack things up based on the owners, match sales list with the inventory list, ship them back to their owners, pay each supplier, etc etc.

oh eniweyyyyyyyyy, i'm craving for seafood hahahaha

fabric crayon

finally, weekend's coming. :) errr, wait, i got my flexible hour working time, so it's weekend (almost) everyday!!! hahaha. hey, but the funny things is, deep inside i'm missing my daily routine much althou some ppl envy my super flexi working time. hahahaha.

ohhh, i just found out this super cute dress at elle.com and i instantly fell in love with it.
maybe tommorow i'll drop myself to gramedia and buy some pentel's fabric crayons. hihihi, i once bought it, back in my high school time. oh, it was awesome! i used it to decorate my super plain giordano canvas bag and my white shirt. hihihi:) x) me likeeyyy it. (oh, but please take a note that after several washes, the colours may fade away) hiks


i love making my very own fashion stuffs. unfortunately, those kind of DIY tools are a bit expensive here. for example, at kidz station and toys city a tiny package of a mini knitter would cost u as much as IDR 500,000.


obviously, under the option of make-or-buy, it's is much cheaper to buy! no wonder that not much ppl would supply those DIY things because the demand is also low.


but thank-god, there is a traditional market called mayestik in my town where i cud find most of my crafting supplies :) x)

tres mignon! so cute

whose feet are these?
these feet belong to a 9 years old kid from Indonesia who write an absolutely cute fashion blog. a combination of a very cute model, nice styling, and great photography aspect! please click on the pic for the link. awwww, elle est tres mignon.


i wonder where she learned about fashion trend (her sister is her big influencer i guess??) i mean, she wears leather jacket, fringe details, boots, aviator glasses, stockings, latex legging, and those current it things.

weeeewwww. u guys shud check her blog as well:) x)

final project

just a quick update, the 1st seminar will be coming in another 30 days.

hopefully everything's gonna be okay:) owwh, and have i told u before that i somehow  in love with my thesis? hahahaha.

basically, it's about empirical study of Economic Value Added in Indonesia for period between 2003 and 2007. my sample is 500-companies-year (100 companies within 5 years). hopefully, i cud get A for my thesis so my final GPA wud be around 3.7. 

actually, that multinational beauty company that i applied before offered me internship. but at this very moment, i don't think i cud be engaged for a job that requires me to come to the office everyday because my priority is to make this thesis really hot *hahaha* so i cud have more chance to apply for scholarship 2 or 3 years from now.

and yes, i'm planning to work for 2 years here while at the same time learning french and GMAT to pursue my MBA degree abroad. risk management sounds nice, isn't it? *oh, well maybe boring for some of u hahaha*

but i made up my mind that i'm no longer eager to join fashion industry. just two cents, i think my competence is greater in some other industries. also, i'd rather be someone who enjoy fashion from outside the industry.

the layer slayer

my mom doesn't like it when i do layering my outfit, especially when i wear something over my dress. legging over dresses, blazer over my cute camisole, jacket over my mini dress.

she said that kind of look would wrongly tell ppl that i'm not in good condition.

but urrrrm, i love layering outfit because:

1. at the same time i cud build my creativity and that out-of-box way of thinking

2. i cud take something ordinary to a whole different level

3. more mix and match alternatives

4. .... i just like it. hehehe..

here are some of my fave combos:)

.. err, but she's definitely rite for one thing: wear a belt when do layering!

it'll define ur curve bery well x)

ngomong opo toh?

baru mau buka kamus di hp, tiba2x gw ditimpuk bola sama gurunya.. "vous vous appelle comment?"

trus si madame nanya ke gw yang kedengerannya di telinga gw seperti "kies ke fu dang lafi." meeennn, opo mene toh iki ada udang2 nya? ternyata, pas gw liat di buku, tulisannya"qu'est ce que vou faites dans la vie?" hahaha)

eh mati mati gw. ahahaha. gw clingak clinguk cari di buku kalimat yang kira2 mirip.. untung dapet bisikan "dia nanyain occupation lo" hehe, udah deh postingnya. jadi maluuu hehe

apprendre le français (learn french)

i got a very eagerness of everything about french.
for example, french fries, french toast, hahaha.
no, i mean i always want to be french spoken.

the silly thing about me:
when i buy a beauty product, i always read the instruction/beauty content in both english and french. then, i try to guess wht a french word means, so far here are some of them:

- moisturizer: hydratant
- vitamin: vitamine
- SPF : IND
- black: noir
- radiant: eclat
- skin: teint
- whitening: blanchissant
- eye: yeux
- 100% fragrance free: 100% sans parfum
- lotion: lotion

hahahahaha;)

i once learned french during my highschool, but too bad, i didn't continue that in my college years.
so, here i am, in my last college year, attending a french language course for beginner.
hahaha, in indonesian: "namanya juga usaha bok"
so, wish me luck guys :)

staple food: noodle

in case u guys don't know, rice is indonesian staple food.
most of indonesian peeps do rilly have rice as their menu on both breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
it's sooo common that they eat it 3 times a day.

and actually, my mom is a rice-minded person.
errrr, she tends to be dizzy and grumpying all day long if she doesn't have rice as her breakfast.
hahaha, kinda weird but i know some more peeps with such behavior hahaha.

and about me..
i prefer noodle to rice.
i love it to death.
udon, ramen, kwetiaw, noodle, rice noodle, spaghetti, fettuccine, and surely indomie:) x).

and my fave menus are:

1. kwetiaw akang!!!!!!!
super delicious kwetiaw with affordable price (IDR 26,000) and tons of meat slices, meatballs and shrimps!!!! i eat there like 3 times a week ahahaha. i love love love all the dishes there.
one day i'll buy the franchise so i cud eat that everyday and tell people how yummy the menus are!!!!
2. mabo tofu udon & nabeyaki udon @ sushi tei and kiyadon sushi
3. sam's strawberry: mie baso babat ceker (and order some strawberry juice with milk please)
4. bakmie bintang gading
5. ummm, black squid noodle at pepenero (forgot the italian name, hahaha) and that spaghetti with much seafood at pastis (also forgot the name of the dish)
6. mushroom fettuccine at pancious pancake
7. and so on and so on (i'll post more soon, i'm sooo sleepy this time haha)

Personality Quiz: The Clothes I Wear

I love psychological quizzes, don't you guys love them too? ;)

Hoho, here's the link (i got it from nitomato), and I found that the result was quite accurate.

Worth to try..

What others see from your style

Although to the untrained eye you may seem like a plain dresser who avoids trends, you actually wear carefully designed accessories and clothes that emphasize your uniqueness. You value your freedom and have an artistic mind. You are neither aggressive nor timid, but you believe in yourself.

What your nightclothes reveal

You are friendly and always in good mood. You are candid and helpful, and can be sexy at times too.

What others see from your ties

You are a happy and contented person. You are protective of your friends, honest and tidy. You are hardworking and like to be the person in charge.

What others see from your belts

You are a kind of person who likes to hide your feelings. You may have a hot temper but tend to cover it with an outwardly calm and gentle demeanor. You are sensitive when it comes to love.

What others see from your shoes

You like to be the center of attention. You like to look good at all times and probably never leave the house without makeup on. Although you may be intelligent, you're also insecure about your looks. You care about others, and will always listen to what they have to say.

What others see from your earrings

You are probably a free spirit at heart with artistic talent. You are absolutely unique and are always coming up with lots of great ideas. Being happy is your most important goal.

The last analysis

You are probably a romantic and passionate person. You are sensitive and lonely when you aren't in love. You can be somewhat self-centered, but you are honest and sincere to others. You like to make a good impression of yourself and worry about what others think of you.

progress report

sooo, within this month i only shopped one fashion item.

one bag at zara..

hahaha. so far so good x) i cud resist the temptations to shop for accomplishing one mission..: 

find my perfect match jacket, then take it home. ahahahaha.

oh yaaaa, i also find my ielts temporary score at campus wasn't so bad..

listening (raw score) 7.3 --> round down to 7; reading 7.65 --> round down to 7.5

hopefully, the score will be improved by the end of the sez. hahaha.

weird

so, i don't get it. 3/4 of my team members in 3rd stage didn't get it. ahaha
i usually feel a bit relieved when i don't get something althou i don't (reallly) want it.
but this time, i don't feel any disappointment at all.

but anyhooo, i know something.
i must develop my public speaking skill, ahaha:) x)
i easily get mumbling when it comes to public speaking haha

..and i guess i must not abandon my nature calling in finance cause i just don't really feel fit in marketing.
don't follow the stream i mean..
(althou it's very tempting and sounds so much like fun)

dress code

so, tommorow i'll be interviewed by a well-known beauty company for its management trainee position.
andd the dress code is:

you, as the representative of a cosmetic firm

aaaaawwww, haha.
she said that jeans are allowed, owwh it's kinda tricky.

but na ah, i'm not gonna wear jeans cus i don't think that'll be my future office outfit.

hahaha.
ok, so here are my outfit candidates:

1. my knee-lenght satin dress + blazer + tights + heels.
Detail: *satin dress in b/w, black blazer and tights, and super cute dark purple heels.

2. wide leg pants + billowy tops + heels

mmmm, maybe the first one will do great.
then wish me luck x) x)

lucky star?

is there any such thing like a lucky star?
no, i guess not (althou i find myself as someone with much blessing) ahaha.
(fyi, some of my high school friends called me as: miss hoki --> miss lucky)

well, the thing is, i just won this facial/spa/soft laser voucher from elle. *thank you ELLE* ahaha
and for ur consideration, previously i won several kitsch, little, fancy things just like a dozen of etude's lipgloss from cosmo girl, l'oreal professionel series from seventeen, parisian voucher from kompas, etc.

the funny thing is that i almost never enjoy those prizes that i won cuz.... either the products are not for me (volumizing shampoo???) or i got too many of them (dozen of lipgloss? and another dozen came up next week??), so i gave most of them to my friends.

ahaha, but still.... i like it because they're for free hehe
